Definitions

  • This invention relates to in-line material handling systems for transporting a workpiece from one processing station to another.
  • the invention may be used with systems for transporting metal plate to and from a burning station in which a flame cutting machine is positioned above a water table.
  • the workpiece was removed from the burning bars by an overhead crane.
  • the pollution was substantially reduced by the use of a water table, operation of the flame cutter was not continuous as considerable downtime was needed for removing the finished workpiece, placing another workpiece on the grate and removing swarf and dross from the water table.
  • a conveyor system comprising a sprocket chain supporting cutting bars which passes the workpiece beneath the flame cutting machine and over the water table has been substituted for the fixed burning bars so that workpieces can be placed in-line while the flame cutting machine is in operation. After a workpiece is cut, the conveyor system can advance it to an off-loading station where it can be removed and at the same time advance a new workpiece to the burning station. Thus, there is less downtime between cutting operations.
  • the sprocket chain of the conveyor system can be designed to support slag collecting elements that catch and remove the swarf and dross from the water table.
  • the slag collecting elements supported on the sprocket chain In order for the slag collecting elements supported on the sprocket chain to function properly and to avoid damaging the slag collecting elements during the burning process, they are submerged below the water level in the water table.
  • an endless sprocket chain conveyor which supports lateral burning bars and slag collector elements, passes through substantially rectangular openings near the top portion of the end walls of a water table located beneath a flame cutting machine.
  • transition links Spaced along the sprocket chain at measured intervals are transition links in the shape of an inverted U which, when the workpiece is positioned beneath the flame cutting machine, are centered over the openings in the end walls of the water table.
  • transition link results in a sprocket chain conveyor having a high profile which requires additional height clearance at each end of the chain conveyor.
  • Another disadvantage of this transition link design is that the link is fabri- ' cated from relatively heavy material having sufficient strength to withstand a large bending moment caused by tension on the sprocket chain during use and shock loading resulting from stopping and starting the conveyor. Therefore, a need exists for a water table having an end door adapted to accommodate a sprocket chain conveyor having a low profile transition link.
  • the present invention relates to a water table and conveyor system suitable for use in an in-line material handling system, particularly a system in which the work is processed by burning.
  • An embodiment of the invention includes a water table having opposing end walls defining substantially rectangular openings in their top portions through which passes an endless conveyor preferably comprising sprocket chains and workpiece supporting members, and end doors for sealing the openings, each having openings, preferably vertical slots with resilient seals mounted therein for engaging and effecting a watertight closure about sealable links in the sprocket chains of the conveyor system.
  • the preferred sealable link has an arcuate shape, when viewed in elevation, with the inner or concave portion oriented to clear intermediate sprocket teeth of sprocket wheels driving the conveyor so that the link may engage non-adjacent sprocket teeth.
  • the sealable link preferably has a flat, elliptical cross section along its central portion to contact the resilient seal with a gradually tapering surface devoid of shaper angles that would promote water leakage or cause undue wear on the seal.
  • the seal comprises two inflatable tubes which when deflated provide enough clearance to allow an end door to engage the sealable link without appreciable friction, and when inflated effect a watertight seal about the sealable link.
  • a workpiece may be first placed on the conveyor system at an on-loading station.
  • the conveyor is activated and advances the workpiece to a burning station beneath the flame cutting apparatus and over the water table.
  • a second workpiece can be placed on the conveyor at the loading station.
  • the water table end doors are then closed and resilient seals in vertical slots in the doors engage the sealable links of the conveyor.
  • the water level in the water table is raised to submerge the sprocket chain, slag collecting element and/or burning bars of the conveyor and the cutting procedure can begin.
  • the water level is lowered to a point below the openings, the end doors are lowered, thereby disengaging the sealable links of the sprocket chains, and the finished workpiece can be advanced to an off-loading station as a new workpiece is advanced to the burning station.
  • the present invention includes a novel water table end door and sealable link to provide a low profile system for substantially continuous operation of the flame cutting machine.
  • the sealable link is not subjected to high bending moment stresses of prior art links and therefore need not be fabricated from expensive materials.
  • the in-line plate handling system includes an on-loading station 18, a burning station 20 and an off-loading station 14.
  • the burning station 20 comprises a water table 10 positioned beneath a conventional burning apparatus 22 which includes a movable. bridge beam 24 carrying torches 26.
  • the on-loading station 18 comprises the portion of the conveyor system 12 upstream of the water table 10 (to the right of the water table in Figs. 1 and 2) and includes a first set of sprocket wheels 28.
  • the off-loading station 14 comprises that portion of the conveyor system 12 downstream of the burning station 20 and includes a second set of sprocket wheels 30.
  • the off-loading station 14 may also include a waste container 32 positioned adjacent the downstream end of the conveyor system 12.
  • the conveyor system 12 comprises a conveyor 34 having endless sprocket chains 36 which travel in a flat loop about the water table 10 and includes a series of sprocket links 38 interrupted by sealable links 40 spaced at predetermined intervals, vertical burning bars 42 and slag collecting elements 44 mounted transversely between the sprocket chains 36 and mounted on the sprocket links 38.
  • the conveyor 34 is driven by a driving means connected to the second set of sprocket wheels 30 and is preferably in the form of an electric gear motor 46 located adjacent the second sprocket wheel.
  • the conveyor 34 and sets of sprocket wheels 28, 30 are supported on a framework 48 comprising upright members 50, longitudinal beams 52 and lateral beams 54.
  • the framework 48 also includes a return conveyor support 56' which may comprise sections of angle iron welded to the upright members 50 and pass beneath the water table 10.
  • the sprocket links 38 shown in Figs. 6, 7 and 9 without vertical burning bars 42 and slag collecting elements 44, comprise rollers 60, roller link plates 62 and pins 64.
  • the sealable links 40 are connected to the sprocket links 38 by means of clevis-shaped terminal portions 66 which engage the link on either side of the roller link plates 62 and are held in position by pins 64.
  • the sealable link 40 has a central portion 68 that is arcuately shaped in the longitudinal direction and, as shown in Fig. 8, has an elliptical cross section. As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the sealable link 40 is approximately twice as long as a sprocket link 38 to allow for stretch and wear of sprocket chains 36.
  • the arcuate shape of the central portion 68 of the sealable link 40 enables it to engage the sets of sprocket wheels 28, 30 at two non-adjacent sprocket teeth, 70, 72 by curving over the intermediate sprocket tooth 74.
  • the water table 10 is supported by upright members 50 of the framework 48 and includes end walls 76, sidewalls 78, a bottom wall 80 and an internal chamber 82 having perforations 84 which communicate with the interior of the water table.
  • the top portion of each of the end walls 76 has an opening 86 of substantially rectangular configuration of sufficient width and height to allow the conveyor 34 to pass through, but of a width less than the width of either end wall 76.
  • the conveyor 34 is maintained in a substantially horizontal plane by means of a supporting surface 88 located within the water table 10 and extending the length of the water table along each sidewall 78 upon which rollers 60 of the conveyor run.
  • each opening 86 Extending about the periphery of each opening 86 and mounted on the exterior surface of each end wall 76 is a sealing member such as a closed cell seal 90 preferably made of a resilient, waterproof material, e.g. rubber, neoprene, etc.
  • a sealing member such as a closed cell seal 90 preferably made of a resilient, waterproof material, e.g. rubber, neoprene, etc.
  • Openings 86 are adapted to be closed by water table end doors 92 which are substantially rectangular in shape and of a width and height to cover closed cell seals 90.
  • end wall 76, end door 92 and the end door supporting structure described hereinafter located adjacent the on-loading station 18, are similar in construction to those corresponding elements located adjacent the off-loading station 14, but of reverse hand. Hence, only those elements adjacent one station, in this case the on-loading station 18, need to be described in detail.
  • the end door 92 is supported by two double action pneumatic lifting cylinders 94 positioned at either side of the door, Figs. 1,3,4 and 5.
  • the lifting cylinders 94 are pivotally mounted on a base 96 at their cylinder ends and are pivotally attached to the end door 92 at a flange 98.
  • the base 96 is located between the water table 10 and the on-loading station 18.
  • the end door 92 is secured against the closed cell seal 90 by means of double action pneumatic closing cylinders 100 shown in Figs. 1, 3, 4 and 5.
  • the closing cylinders 100 are mounted horizontally on a ledge 102 attached to the on-loading station 18.
  • Closing cylinder rod 104 is threaded into a carriage 106 having four wheels 108 which engage and are movable along a pair of opposed U-shaped channels 110 mounted vertically on the end door 92.
  • hydraulic lifting and closing cylinders may be used instead of pneumatic cylinders.
  • Vertical slots 112 shown in Figs. 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9, are formed in upper surface 114 of the end door 92 and are located at positions along the width of the end door corresponding to the distance between the endless sprocket chains 36.
  • the slots 112 are defined by two opposed vertical walls 116 and a floor 118.
  • a resilient seal 122 is located within each slot 112 and comprises two seal members 124, 126 each attached to and extending along the entire length of each vertical wall 116 of a slot 112.
  • the two seal members 124, 126 are adapted to flex against each other, the vertical walls i 16 and floor 118 of the slot 112 to form a watertight closure for the slot.
  • the resilient seal 122 preferably is made from an abrasion-resistant flexible material, such as neoprene.
  • the resilient seal comprises two opposed, vertically oriented inflatable tubes 128, 130 which are connected via a nipple 132 to a source of compressed air (not shown).
  • Each inflatable tube 128, 130 has a tongue 134 along its length shaped to fit within a groove 136 formed in the vertical sidewall 116 of the slot 112.
  • the tubes 128, 130 are inflated, they expand against each. other and the walls 116 to form a watertight seal of the slot.
  • a workpiece to be processed which can be a metal plate 138, is first placed on the vertical burning bars 42 of the conveyor 34 at the on-loading station 18 by means (not shown), such as an overhead crane or a separate conveyor.
  • the water level in the water table 10 is lowered to a predetermined position, denoted by line A in Figs. 3 and 4, which is at least below the opening 86 in the end walls 76.
  • the conventional burning apparatus 22 is raised to its highest position to accommodate the movement of the conveyor 34 and plate 138 thereunder, and the end doors 92 are lowered to allow movement of the conveyor 34 through the opening 86.
  • the end doors 92 are lowered toward the base 96 by the lifting cylinders 94 to a point where the upper surface 114 of the end door is below the opening 86 in the water table 10. As the end door 92 is lowered, it is kept in a vertical position at a predetermined distance from the closed cell seal 90 by the carriage 106 of the closing cylinder 100 whose wheels 108 travel within the U-shaped channels 110 mounted on the door. The distance of the door 92 from the closed cell seal 90 is varied by activating the closing cylinder 100.
  • the metal plate 138 is then transported to the burning station 20 by advancing the conveyor 34 and is positioned under the burning torches 26 so that the sealable links 40 of the sprocket chains 36 are positioned directly above the resilient seals 122 in each slot 112 of the end doors 92.
  • the added length of the sealable links 40 facilitates the positioning of the sprocket chain 36.
  • the end doors 92 are raised by activating the lifting cylinders 94 and the two seal members 124, 126 of the resilient seals 122 engage and deform about the central portion 68 of the sealable link 40 to form a watertight closure.
  • the cross-sectional profile of the sealable link 40 have an elliptical profile having nearly pointed ends so that the seal members 124, 126 deform about the sealable link 40 without the formation of gaps.
  • the conveyor 34 comprising in part endless sprocket chains 36, can be submerged in the water table 10 so that no part of the conveyor protrudes above the end doors 92.
  • the end doors 92 now in a raised position, are urged against the closed cell seal 90 by action of the closing cylinders 100 to form a watertight cover for the openings 86 in the end walls 76 of the water table.
  • the water level in the water table 10 can now be raised to a predetermined level above the lowermost portion of the opening 86, designated by line B, thus submerging the sprocket chain 36, slag collecting elements 44 and all or a part of the burning bars 42.
  • the water level in the water table 10 can be raised or lowered by the introduction or evacuation of air or other fluid into the internal chamber 82 which causes water in the internal chamber to fill or empty through perforations 84, in a manner described in DE-A-2924126.
  • the burning station 20 is now ready for the burning operation.
  • the water level is lowered to a predetermined level at least below the opening 86, the end doors 92 are separated from the closed cell seal 90 by the closing cylinders 100, and the end door is lowered by the lifting cylinders 94, thereby disengaging the sealable links 40 from the resilient seals 122.
  • the plate 138 can now be advanced by the conveyor 34 to off-loading station 14.
  • the finished workpiece can be removed by a crane or other means (not shown) and swarf and dross can be dumped from the slag collecting elements 44 into the waste container 32.
  • the end door can be raised and lowered without rubbing the resilient seal against the surface of the central portion 68 of the sealable link 40. In this way, abrasion of the resilient seal 122 by the sealable link 40 is kept to a minimum.
  • the entire process can be computer controlled. With suitable servomechanisms electronically tied into a control, each step of the process can be performed at the appropriate time.
